A Tragicomedy PsychoDrama, written and performed by one actor taking on the role of her three alter egos:Mike - an eccentric, scatterbrained academicElliott - a defensive yet laid back aspiring artistHost - the reluctant, vulnerable Core-Self hiding behind the fractured dominant identities of Mike & Elliott.Together, they battle out how to occupy the time and daily life of the Host Body they share together. Can Host take back her true heart & core-self, or will she forever now hide behind the two dominant alter-egos that steer her mind, body & life? Can they collectively find a way towards integration or will they remain in induced active-imagination fantasy, together ... forever?'NeuroChatter, is based on the artists personal experience of recovering from a dissociative condition and PTSD. She considers the piece to be an autobiographical performance of the inner conflict shes experienced and uses the methodology of PsychoDrama, Family Internal Structure theory and Jungian Psychology to tell the tale. Sara hopes to showcase complex themes regarding trauma, identity and the inner workings of the mind, by externalising representations of the inner psyche & concept of persona through narrative dramatisation and comedy. With many misrepresentations of mental health, Sara hopes to challenge that narrative with a more humanising approach, in the aim of de-stigmatisation of complex trauma survivors.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
